First and foremost- Fuck Cancer! Cancer does not discriminate. Everyone knows someone who has been affected by this awful disease.
I am a cancer survivor; Hodgkins Lymphoma. Unfortunately, after some recent tests, doctors believe that it’s returned. But this time- Breast Cancer. I know, I know, pics or GTFO : )
Tap Cancer Out is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization that raises money and awareness for cancer fighting groups on behalf of the BJJ and grappling community. In 2012 they held a BJJ tournament that raised over $22,000 for The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. (LLS) The goal for 2013 is to hold four BJJ tournaments and to raise over $100,000. But your help is needed. Funds are required to even set the tournaments up, for mats, equipment, venues, etc.
I’ve seen this community come together so many times and I’m proud to be part of such a great group of people. I will be holding a BJJ seminar in LI, NY for Tap Cancer Out in May. We already have some big names, so stay tuned for more info!!
Here is more from Tap Cancer Out founder, Jon Thomas, to find out how you can help. Or go to www.tapcancerout.org
Thanks : )

guardbr8kr - My wife just had her 4th chemo treatment 10 days ago. This one hit hard. Took 6 days before I could get her out of the house long enough take the dog for a walk around the yard and down to the dock.

Next session is on the 28th of this month, her birthday, and Imma set up a party in the chemo room.

Fuck Cancer and the money making fags that continue to profit, for nothing.

I'm so sorry. What type she have? Back when i was sick (the first time) I started a support group. Its funny, one of the guys had the same chemo as me and he was at a bar the next night. I was like your wife. Took me over a week to recover. Then it was time to go again. Fucking awful. I'm so sorry. Is she able to eat? The birthday party is a great idea!! You prob cant bring balloons in though so you should see if u can go early and put up streamers :) Shes lucky to have you.

Well then go the alternative route and consult a homeopathic doctor.

I see both sides. Chemo and radiation are poison. They're killing the cancer cells, but also killing the good cells, hence the side effects. More research needs to be done on targeted gene therapy. But modern medicine should not be so adverse to alternative treatments.

Slow slow recovery. The stem cell transplant with high dose chemo is no joke. I've done 7 rounds of chemo in the past but nothing prepares you for the high dose chemo. It has been a month since having it done and I'm still having trouble just moving room to room. My skin is all burned up and peeling and eating is still almost impossible. I have declined a second transplant so now we wait to see what is next. Till then just relax and try to get better.

Hang in there ace!

I have empathy for you, knowing your side effects are much worse And for alot longer than what i felt.

Steroids they are giving you are not enough to make u eat? Have you tried cannabis? I am eating constantly, your treatment is so much harsher chemically so i know it affects appetite alot

Im curious What are your Dr.s giving you to help you cope with side effects?
